Brittany Furlan Accused Of Stealing Content From Sydney Adams

Influencer Brittany Furlan is accused of taking more than a little inspiration from another content creator she gave the stamp of approval to on Twitter.

Sydney Adams is accusing Brittany Furlan of plagiarism after the influencer posted a character eerily similar to Sydney’s own. Sydney claims it’s no coincidence because Brittany ‘liked’ the skit when it was posted to Twitter so there’s proof that she saw the original character.

Hey @BrittanyFurlan remember a couple weeks ago when you liked my Ms. Delano character here on Twitter? Crazy how similar your “dead Hollywood actress” bit is on Instagram now. I even screenshotted anticipating my content get ripped off. pic.twitter.com/SlWWjAApHQ

Sydney continued to call out Brittany on Twitter and Instagram. She went on to accuse her of not only stealing from her but various other content creators.

So weird that you also have the ghost of a dead Hollywood starlet living in your house @BrittanyFurlan . Why can’t you let the creative people thrive, stealing ideas hurts people, some “mental health advocate” you are. pic.twitter.com/dIMWHspBJG

@BrittanyFurlan I am a 24 year old person who works 50 hours a week in a restaurant. When I’m not there, I’m driving 2 hours to LA to do a 5 minute spot somewhere and then 2 hours home. All I’ve ever wanted to do is make people laugh, and I burn my candle at both ends to do it.

@BrittanyFurlan to have something you are so proud of be ripped from your hands by an entitled airhead who justifies her actions with a follower account is upsetting for me and embarrassing for you. How old are you? When will it be enough?

Fans began to defend creators rights to draw inspiration from their peers and accused Sydney of being a hypocrite because she wasn’t the first person to use the old Hollywood actress persona for a sketch.

I’m not claiming to have invented doing old Hollywood characters, because heck no I didn’t. Just being defensive of my content.

Although she had critics, she also had people who backed her original claim that copying people’s work is common practice for many big influencers like Brittany.

Read this thread and stop giving people a platform where they steal the work of others just to turn around and profit from it. Time and time again these “creators” are called out and yet people continue to blindly support them. We need to start giving credit where credit is due. https://t.co/h4bKZHyXMI

Brittany has yet to respond but she did upload a screenshot of her DM’s where fans were defending her. Instead of addressing Sydney directly, she wrote a message thanking all her fans for their kind words.

Do you think Sydney’s claims are valid or are you siding with Brittany?! Hit us up @trendallday to let us know your thoughts!
